Uncle Song stopped and looked at the governor calmly.

"Sir," Uncle Song saluted, "there have been a lot of things going on in Cao Min's family recently. My father was seriously injured at home, and my brother died unexpectedly. Cao Min is really sad in his heart. In addition to the inappropriate words, it is not what Cao Min really wants. Please forgive me. .”

"Please let me first let the common people take my brother's body back to my father. After it has been properly placed, please go to your residence to plead guilty!"

Sir, please rest assured that the grassroots will not shirk the responsibilities that the grassroots bear. In addition, the grassroots are willing to bear all the money used for the funeral of your nephew! "

After hearing what he said, the governor's face finally looked better.

He nodded slightly: "Forget it, considering that Uncle Song has done a lot for Huizhou over the years, I agree to let you bring the body back first. However, I will investigate the matter to the end. If there is any If you need to cooperate, Uncle Song must cooperate at any time."

"This is natural. Thank you for your understanding."

Uncle Song took the person away, and the governor asked a few questions about the other people in Goulanshe as usual, and then ordered people to carry the body and leave.

Seeing that the governor was about to leave, the Yamen servant asked in a low voice: "Sir, that woman's body..."

The governor waved his hands in disgust: "Throw it into a mass grave outside the city!"

"Yes."

Both groups of people left, the woman's body was taken to the mass grave, and the blockade on the street was lifted.

The eldest lady and the others also made enough advertisements in front of the Song family's clothing store and then left in a grand manner to go to the Qian family's clothing store.

There was a lot of excitement here. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe asked Song Ping and others to secretly protect the eldest lady and the others, and then left the city.

The government officials in front drove a flatbed truck, and the woman's body was pulled on the truck, which was covered only with a straw mat.

When they arrived near the mass grave outside the city, the government officials pushed the corpse down. They also thought it was bad luck and immediately turned around and drove away.

When he walked away, Yan Ruyu took a pill and asked the woman to swallow it.

"Your Majesty's hidden weapon is so accurate," she praised sincerely.

Huo Changhe chuckled: "This is not difficult. If you want to learn, I will teach you."

Yan Ruyu's marksmanship is excellent and her accuracy is good. She has never used a concealed weapon, but it shouldn't be too difficult to learn.

"Okay," she agreed readily.

As he spoke, the woman "came back to life."

She opened her eyes and looked around blankly. When she saw two strangers, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe, she was so frightened that she quickly sat up.

"You...who are you? Where are you?"

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "This is a mass grave outside the city. You were just poisoned and faked your death and were thrown here."

The woman's face turned pale, and she was frightened for a moment. She quickly got up, her head was still a little dizzy, and she was a little unsteady on her feet.

Looking around, I saw unburied bones, and the wind was cold and biting, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Then you are..."

"We rescued you," Yan Ruyu's eyes were cold and her tone was calm.

The woman intuitively felt that Yan Ruyu was not someone to be trifled with. She bowed to the two of them, but her eyes fell on Huo Changhe.

"I would like to thank you both for saving your life. I wonder what I call my benefactor? Please give me your name. After I return, I will pray for my benefactor every day."

Huo Changhe's voice was colder than Yan Ruyu's: "It has nothing to do with me. It was my wife who saved you. If you want to thank her, thank her."

The woman was slightly surprised and looked up at him, her eyes slightly panicked and pitiful.

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "What's your name?"

"My name is Yuan Yuan, she is..." She lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I am the daughter of a small family. Because my father married another stepmother, she treated me harshly. A few days ago, they wanted to marry me to a businessman. , that merchant is over sixty years old, and just because of the dozens of taels of betrothal gift, they don’t care about the life and death of the slave family..."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her face, and her pale face was so pitiful with the glistening teardrops.

Yan Ruyu seems to be smiling, but Huo Changhe's face is like black iron.

"Then what?" Yan Ruyu asked.

“I resisted and tried to escape from home, but they found me several times and captured me again.

After a few times, the merchant probably knew the news and asked for the money back. My father and stepmother were extremely angry.

I thought this matter would be over, but I never imagined that they were so vicious that they wanted to kill me to vent their anger..."

Just as Huo Changhe was about to speak, Yan Ruyu said, "So, you mean, you were harmed by your father and stepmother?"

"Exactly!" Yuan Yuan raised the hem of her skirt and knelt down, sobbing, "The slave family has nowhere to live, so I ask the young master and... madam to take pity on me and take me back. I am willing to be a cow or a horse, a slave or a maid, to repay you two. A life-saving grace.”

Yan Ruyu turned her head and looked at Huo Changhe: "Husband, this little lady is really pitiful, how about we take her back first?"

Huo Changhe's eyes opened slightly, with resistance written all over his face.

Yan Ruyu squeezed his fingers quietly, with a smile in her eyes.

Huo Changhe tightened his lips and his voice came out from his back molars: "Okay, listen to my wife."

Yuan Yuan immediately burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you, sir, thank you, madam!"

After getting up and following them to the city, Yuan Yuan's eyes rolled around the two of them.

"I wonder what the young master does for a living? How do you need the servants to take care of you?"

Huo Changhe gave a short laugh: "Didn't I just say that you should be a cow or a horse?"

Yuan Yuan choked, lowered his head, and whispered: "Master, are you angry? I didn't do it on purpose."

Huo Changhe rolled his eyes silently, Yan Ruyu held back her laughter and shook his hand again.

No one spoke anymore. As they approached the city gate, Yan Ruyu took out a veil and gave it to Yuan Yuan: "Hide your face. If your family sees it, I don't want to cause trouble."

"Yes." Yuan Yuan took the veil and covered his face.

As soon as they entered the city gate, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe changed positions in a tacit understanding and without leaving any trace, one on the left and one on the right, placing Yuan Yuan in the middle.

Without going anywhere else, we went all the way back to the inn and entered through the back door.

As soon as Yuan Yuan came in, his eyes glanced around. After entering the courtyard, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, is this an inn?"

Huo Changhe was too lazy to talk to her. Yan Ruyu sat down and took a sip of tea: "Yes, it's an inn. We are not from Huizhou, we are just passing by."

Yuan Yuan opened his eyes slightly: "Then we will leave soon?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, and you will never come back. Do you have any friends or relatives you want to see?"

"If so, you can go and see her and say goodbye. Otherwise, if you leave, there will be no chance to see you again."

Yuan Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is nothing visible. They have harmed me so much, and they and I are no longer relatives!"

"I wonder where the young master and his wife are going?"

"Northwest," Yan Ruyu said, "we are exiles."

Yuan Yuan: "!!"

Yan Ruyu held her chin in her hands and looked at her with a smile: "So, we are really in need of horses and horses, and you are here just in time."

Yuan Yuan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes filled with shock, and subconsciously looked at Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe was extremely annoyed: "What do you think I'm doing? I didn't ask you to be a cow or a horse!"
